Vinyl Project Pouches in Honey Locust

Hi friends!  Today I'm popping in to share a quick project idea

that any crafter, sewist, or quilter will love - a Vinyl Project Pouch! 

I had never made one before.  But I had received one as a gift and loved it!  They're so cute and handy!  So I knew I wanted to make some with my new fabric collection with Riley Blake Designs called Honey Locust.  They're kind of addicting to make, and I can definitely see myself making more in the future.

I started with the cheater print from Honey Locust.  I quilted it on my domestic machine

with diagonal lines that were the same distance apart as the small triangles on the cheater print.

I used a walking foot and seam guides so I didn't have to mark anything.

It was actually really easy and fun to quilt the panels!

I know, putting in zippers can be intimidating, but I promise it's really not that hard, especially on a project like this.  It's actually really satisfying!  And if I can do it, anyone can!

I got the zippers from a local quilt shop and the vinyl from Walmart.

Each pouch uses about 4 different fabrics so it's fun playing around with different fabric combinations.

And you can make these for any occasion, so the possibilities are endless!

I got these fun zipper pulls from an online fabric store years ago.

(Unfortunately, I can't remember which one - sorry!)

The tutorial I used for these pouches is by Ann from The Bobbin Jar blog.  It was really well done and she offered several size options!  I highly recommend it!  Click HERE to check out Ann's tutorial.

I definitely want to make more Vinyl Project Pouches.  They would make great gifts for all my quilty friends!
